Notes
If you're using garlic cloves instead of powder. Add them when you're heating the bacon grease, butter and oil.
If the heat becomes to high, or the potatoes look like they're going to burn, lower the temperature from medium-high to medium or even lower, if necessary. You're stove temperature and type of pan effects the temperature for cooking this.
Onions and sweet potatoes are not required, but adds nicely to this dish.
If you would like to cook the onions early for a longer caramelization, you add them with the potatoes.
